On the night of June 18, Tupelo, Mississippi police officer Tyler Cook pulled over a vehicle for what authorities say was a “routine traffic stop.” Minutes later, Ronnie Shumpert, a 37-year-old Black father of five, was brutalized, maimed and tortured by that officer. Then he was shot dead.

It was 9:38 pm when officer Cook pulled over the vehicle Shumpert was driving. The car belonged to his friend, Charles Foster. Foster was with Shumpert in the car. He witnessed much of what happened that night.

Shumpert had a felony warrant for his arrest, yet there’s no way the officer could have known that at the time of the traffic stop. He was never ID’d. The car he was driving was not registered in his name. To officer Cook, he was just another Black man behind the wheel of a car.

As soon as Cook pulled the car over Shumpert ran. Officer Cook pursued him with a police canine.

According to witnesses, Shumpert was hiding underneath a house when Cook found him.

Police say he immediately attacked the officer and the dog. Witnesses say otherwise. Foster and others say Shumpert immediately tried to surrender, but Cook turned the dog loose on the unarmed man. It attacked his groin, ripping off his testicles.

4. Um - Officer Cook is shady

Officer Cook has had excessive force complaints filed against him before. The most recent complaint was filed less than two months ago.

According to Tupelo’s white city attorney, Ben Logan, any accusations of racial profiling, police brutality and corruption in connection with the death of Ronnie Shumpert are “just ridiculous.”

During a press conference held on June 27, Logan showed no concern over the nature and extent of Shumpert’s injuries. Instead, he accused the dead man’s family of being “instigators,” claiming that their cries for justice are “endangering the peace of the community.”

Rather than being upset over the brutal torture and unjustifiable death of an unarmed Tupelo resident, Logan went on to stress that he is “upset” about statements made by the Shumpert family attorney, Carlos Moore, saying they shine a “bad light” on attorneys.

FBI's warning of white supremacists infiltrating law enforcement nearly forgotten

Because of intensifying civil strife over the recent killings of unarmed black men and boys, many Americans are wondering, “What’s wrong with our police?” Remarkably, one of the most compelling but unexplored explanations may rest with a FBI warning of October 2006, which reported that “White supremacist infiltration of law enforcement” represented a significant national threat.

Several key events preceded the report. A federal court found that members of a Los Angeles sheriffs department formed a Neo Nazi gang and habitually terrorized the black community. Later, the Chicago police department fired Jon Burge, a detective with reputed ties to the Ku Klux Klan, after discovering he tortured over 100 black male suspects. Thereafter, the Mayor of Cleveland discovered that many of the city police locker rooms were infested with “White Power” graffiti. Years later, a Texas sheriff department discovered that two of its deputies were recruiters for the Klan.

In near prophetic fashion, after the FBI’s warning, white supremacy extremism in the U.S. increased, exponentially. From 2008 to 2014, the number of white supremacist groups, reportedly, grew from 149 to nearly a thousand, with no apparent abatement in their infiltration of law enforcement.

This year, alone, at least seven San Francisco law enforcement officers were suspended after an investigation revealed they exchanged numerous “White Power” communications laden with remarks about “lynching African-Americans and burning crosses.” Three reputed Klan members that served as correction officers were arrested for conspiring to murder a black inmate. At least four Fort Lauderdale police officers were fired after an investigation found that the officers fantasized about killing black suspects.

8. The KKK Has Infiltrated U.S. Police Departments for Decades During the Civil Rights movement, one of

the KKK’s first orders was to infiltrate police departments around the country.

In 1991, a neo-Nazi white supremacist gang was terrorizing the streets of Lynwood in Los Angeles County. The reason these violent thugs could run amok was because they were deputies at the Lynwood Sheriff’s station, having the power of blue privilege.

A federal judge acknowledged that the gang of deputies carried out “systematic acts of shooting, killing, brutality, terrorism, house-trashing and other acts of lawlessness and wanton abuse of power.”

These maniacs were not the sudden appearance of a unique group of individuals among law enforcement, but the progeny of a decades-long effort by the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) to infiltrate police departments wherever possible.

That’s why it is so difficult to believe the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) when it said on Tuesday that there was no racial profiling in any of the 1,365 allegations leveled against the department from 2012 to 2014.

[JRLeft]

10. Now you know why the police are murdering at a higher rate.

[uponit7771]

11. I think the supermacist are an evil devilish group, I do believe the number of 1 - 2% of the LEOs

... are fucked up in the head but the avenues of raining them in are thin or not even slightly enforced by leadership.

Seeing Browns story raises the bar for the LEO leadership, fire all their ass's if they're going to act up and be stupid... whatever he did got results

12. There is no way these people are passing the mental examination

to enter the academy.

It is my opinion they are receiving some kind of waiver.

[uponit7771]

13. YES!! Like the cop in KS that threatened the kids of a FB poster... sick fuck... he was fired

... soon after but how in the world did he get on the force in the first place.

They're testing for Sannity when they should be testing to see if they're assholes

[JRLeft]

14. I was told they test for everything which is why I believe some are getting a waiver of some sort.
